He was Spanish royal favourite of Philip IV and a minister.As prime minister from 1621 to 1643, he over-exerted Spain in foreign affairs and unsuccessfully attempted domestic reform. His policies of committing Spain to recapture Holland led to his major involvement in the Third Year´s wars.
For twenty-two years Olivares directed Spain´s foreign policy. It was a period of constant war, and finally of disaster abroad and of rebellion at home.Olivares foreign policy was based around his assesment that Philip IV was surrounded by jealous rivals acoss urope, who wished to attack his position as champion of the Catholic Church, in particular, Olivares saw the rebellious Dutch as a key enemy.Although Olivares made much of religion as a facet of Spain´s foreign policy, in practice he often overruled that principle.It has also been argued that Olivares dislike of flamboyant spending may have influenced his views of the Dutch republic, known for its relatively open show off wealth.
